September's weather so far has given us a little guess work. The familiar Indian Summer that often accompanies the month of September here on the west coast, hasn't materialised. In fact we are seeing some much needed rain this week, but that doesn't stop the animals from showing up nor the trips from heading out to find all that fabulous wildlife. The 12.15pm Ocean Magic 2 vessel with Capt. Anna and an all girl crew on board took our guests into the Strait of Juan de Fuca to view the Humpback whale that was reported. We spent some time with this illusive 'gentle-giant ' and then headed over to see some of J pod Orca traveling along the west side of San Juan island. Our knowledgeable crew, Mika, Arleigh and Marnie shared information with our guests. J 1' Ruffles', the oldest male Orca of J Pod, at 58 yrs, delighted us with many passes. One of the new J Pod Orca calves, born in January 2009 managed a baby breach to wow our guests. Despite the mist and raindrops all those on board enjoyed their west coast experience.Marie, Orca-Magic
